Interesting.......

I was trying to find a picture of a computer on Google for my picture I have to work on for photography, and interesting enough, I came by this link with an interesting feature....

Broadcast place...

Hehehehe, can you point out what computer and what monitor is there in one of the pictures...?  :-D  :-)

Even in 2001, they still use it!  :-)

the one with the floppy on the side should be a 500.

And yet it's an A1200 ...

[K7HTH]

An Amiga 1200. Yes, sir you are RIGHT!!  :-D

[kd7ota]

I emailed them about the Amiga, but turns out the replaced it with a PC due to some 'power' problems and it kept freezing. But they did decide to hang onto it and want to fix it up again. They also mentioned they used Scala for the credits when they aired...  :-)

And yes, its definately an Amiga 1200  :-)

Nice to see some of 'em still in sterling service ... kinda :-)

In the news today on Danish TV2 I spotted a monitor with Take2 (I believe, was definately an Amiga program!). Must have been an Amiga with VidiAmiga12(RT) from Rombo.

It was from an animation school in Denmark and showed somthing from the upcoming Asterix movie I think (out in 2006) I did not have sound on the tv and didnt have a chance to hear what exactly it was all about:-(

Cool though, to see the Classic Amiga in action on national TV.

Greetings,

A year back, some local TV station and cable company used A1200. They've used Scala on their Channel Guide. How, I saw if re-boot when they'd had a problem. I believe they're still using it. cool! 8-)

regards,

Gizz

Hahahah!  :-D

I have been trying to figure that one out. I think its a term from students that thought they heard "Amoeba" instead of Amiga But who really knows, i could sometime ask them why they came up with that term.

since i've never seen an amiga 1200, it's not surprising i didn't recognise it.

Kinda O/T, but I was actually talking with a person (via email) in Queensland the other day, and he reckoned he worked for a company that still use A1200's, up to a 100 he said. Not sure how much truth was in that statement, but an Amiga setup of that magnitude thats still in use would be interesting to see.

I used to live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and there was a local religious channel, I think it was channel 53 that used OS1.3 Amigas.  Back in 1996 I remember being suprised one night while channel surfing when I saw the old 1.3 workbench screen with a dialog box saying, "Please insert disk in DF0:".  The funny thing was that you could hear the mass being conducted in the background.  It was a very spiritual experience.

More recently, in 2000, I was visiting the Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airport and on one of the informational displays above a security checkpint was the "Insert Workbench" screen, exactly like adz' avitar.  It thought that it was pretty cool.
